Boteco do Brasil brings the spirit of a Brazilian neighbourhood boteco to 62 Trongate in Glasgow's Merchant City. It operates as both a restaurant and a late-night Latin venue, combining food, cocktails, live entertainment and dancing in a colourful, energetic setting.
Petiscos, or Brazilian-style tapas, invite diners to share and explore several flavours. The current menu includes fried plantain, cheese bread, cassava fries, coxinhas, salt cod cakes, grilled skewers and seafood dishes, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free indicators provided for many choices.
Larger plates extend the menu beyond snacks, led by traditional dishes such as feijoada with black beans, pork and smoked sausage. Brazilian burgers, pizza and other mains broaden the choice, while house-made desserts include milk pudding and an açaí bowl with fruit and granola.
Caipirinhas and other cachaça-based cocktails are central to the bar, and live music and DJs give evenings a distinctly social rhythm. Guests with allergies should tell their server before ordering and check the current menu, since ingredients and kitchen handling may affect otherwise suitable dishes.
Address: 62 Trongate, Glasgow G1 5EP, Scotland
